I've been looking through the posts hoping to find something similar to my dilema but I can't find anything so I'm posting b/c I need some peace of mind! (hoping thats what I get...)
How common is it to get prego while AF is visiting? DH had the bright idea (without me knowing) to NOT withdraw thinking that b/c I was having my cycle (toward the end of it so it wasn't like a blood bath....I hope I'm not grossing anyone out) we were safe. I'm not so sure of that.
Is he right or am I right

*We're Not Pregnant!!* Very relieved right now! Thank you all for you're input! :-)

I am in the same dilemma!! I let DH "stay in" because I was at the end (CD6) of AF and I figured... What's the harm? Well I started spotting on CD16 and am freaking out that it may be implantation spotting!!

~ a little background ~ DS weaned himself from BF @ 12 months (AF returned at 6 months PP and averaged about 55 days long... I've always had long cycles) So we have not been BFing for 4 solid months. Prior to most recent AF I had 3 days of spotting (very light usually only while exercising, starting on CD 28), then I went on 28 more days until the real "AF" showed up. Now I am day 18 and still spotting... And I never spot this soon after AF... But it is within the 7-10day implantation spotting "window" YIKES!!

I know you can get pregnant on your period if you ovulated early, which is entirely possible if you are irregular. Hugs~ good luck!!

I know it's possible but pretty rare. I had a similar situation and my dr. said it's really only possible if you have short cycles. For instance, you dtd on the last day of your period and then ovulate a few days later. Sperm can live for a few days, so then it's possible to fertilize the egg. I'm no expert so maybe someone else better versed will chime in. But I think you're safe!

For me, it would be totally possible, because I usually ovulate around day 12. So on day 7, I could still be spotting, and sperm can live up to 5 days. Tada! Potential baby. But I only have 25-26 day cycles, so I ovulate "early".

This is me too, except for a few months postpartum my cycles are longer for a while.

Well, I guess I'll let you guys know in a week or so what the verdict is. I'm a little nervous.... :/ DH is leaving for England friday and won't be back for over a month, maybe two. Then he's off again, state side this time. He's going to be gone ALOT this fall/winter (work). I reeeeeeeally don't want to be pregnant right now. It's going to be hard enough taking care of everything being a full time WOHM while he's away.....

I wish I knew my body better. I've read some of these posts about the different kinds of fluid. I think I ovulated last week based on the fluid. Just in case I'm wrong though, what does that look like? Creamy clearish? I feel really dumb asking this to but do you ovulate when you're pregnant? Isn't it a different kind of fluid?? Someone school me please!!!
